States are trying to limit soft drinks and candy from SNAP benefits because of health worries.

Governors in Arkansas and Indiana want to change food rules. They want to ban some drinks and candy from a program for low-income people. This program helps people buy food.

Arkansas says this will help people be healthier. They think taxpayers pay for poor health now. Indiana wants to focus on good food, not sweets.

Arkansas wants to stop people from buying soda and some candy. But they would let people buy cooked chicken. Indiana wants to stop candy and soda too.

Some groups do not like these changes. They say it is not fair to limit what people can buy. They also say it takes away people's choices.

Drink and candy companies are also against the changes. They say it unfairly targets people who use the food program. The government must approve these changes.
